How did ancient humans travel through ocean 🤔 ?

Discover the ancient navigation system built directly into your own brain. 65,000 years ago, prehistoric humans crossed the open ocean to reach Australia without compasses or maps, relying solely on the hippocampus' place cells and grid cells. Explore groundbreaking neuroscience discoveries from Oxford and UCL, how traditional Polynesian navigators read ocean swells, star paths, and wind direction, and why modern GPS use is silently shrinking our spatial memory. This deep dive into evolutionary biology and cognitive science reveals that the most sophisticated GPS is already inside your skull.
